The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Phil bombs ruined my living room. Definitive version

The most unique 'Comes a Time' ever. 15 min of bliss
Morning Dew

Madison Square Garden

Doesn't get much better than this. Jerry's voice and playing are so emotive. Great version. Some songs are better with a weathered Jerry voice of the late 80's early 90's. Dew is one of them. More fragile beauty and vulnerability than healthy early 70's versions.
